Application filed February 4:. 1891. Serial Nil-380.139. No model.)

T on whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ALLAN B. CAMERON, of \Villiamsport, Lycoming county, Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Composite Ornamental Panels, of

which the following is a specification.

, represents my ornamental slab or panel with a portion of the interstices in the grille filled with plastic material. Fig. 2 isa section on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3 3 of Fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.

The grille or lattice shown in Fig. 1 is constructed of the strips A A, which are produced by first cross-cutting the surface of a plank or board to give the desired configuration and then dividing said plank longitudinally. The said strips are then halved together to form the lattice. I fill the interstices of said grille with any plastic compound B, such as papier-mach, glue and sawdust frame-makers composition, and allow the same to harden therein, after which the exterior surface of the panel is dressed 01f smooth. The composition may be colored, as desired, and by varying its color in dilferent openings ornamental patterns may be produced.

The method of producing a composite wood panel or slab, which consists in, first, making a grille of wood by cross-cutting a plank or board to a desired pattern or configuration, dividing said plank into strips, and then halving said strips together, and, second, filling the openings in said grille with a plastic composition.
